“Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my grandfather said. A child or a book or a painting or a house or a wall built or a pair of shoes made. Or a garden planted. Something your hand touched some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die, and when people look at that tree or that flower you planted, you’re there” Ray Bradbury-Fahrenheit 451

There is knowledge, that almost like rituals, people used to put in practice. Increasingly, many of these ‘rituals’ are getting lost in time, without the opportunity to be transmitted and kept alive.
This project talks of the small stories that we can keep alive, the knowledge we inherited from our ancestors, and we can transmit to our descendants.
